The explanation doesn’t require much detail, but you need scissors to cut your line, cut your boilie stops, cut anti-tangle tubing etc. Most scissors will do the job, but the sharper the better.
I have the Korda Razorblades (click here to see them on Amazon) and they are razor sharp too, they literally are the best tool for cutting braided fishing line! They cut line perfectly, cut through braid cleanly and are very effective. Just the job.

These are fantastically sharp and last a long time – well worth investing in straight away.

He writes Fishing Again to put the things he learned the hard way into plain language: location and watercraft first, then bait, rigs and gear. He is straight about which kit he has actually fished and which he has assessed on specification, and says so on the page.
